What they’re pitching for…

Outloud is seeking support to deliver RESPECT, an award-winning in-school primary prevention program for boys aged 10–12 that reduces risk factors for antisocial and violent behaviour through songwriting, performance, and facilitated learning. Funding will enable delivery across two school terms with professional musicians and specialist expertise, helping participants build practical skills in gender equality, emotional regulation, empathy, and healthy conflict resolution, while also equipping teachers and parents to continue the conversations that drive lasting cultural and behavioural change.
